(3) 4-6 Kate and Marylin (The Secret Language of Girls) are now in seventh grade, staying friends even though they're not as close as they once were. Cheerleader Marylin runs for student government, while Kate is interested in guitar-playing and songwriting. Dowell again demonstrates sensitivity to the concerns of middle-grade girls. Her protagonists are portrayed sympathetically as they pursue new friends and experiences.
